When a democracy gets to that point it will stop being a democracy. The majority will make sure all opposition to it is crushed.

Humans may talk about freedom and democracy, but they much prefer power and autocracy.

Technically, doesn’t democracy just mean that governmental decisions reflect the will of the majority? Does it imply anything about the treatment of minorities in the population? Or about rights of the citizenry, other than voting on decisions for the nation?
